Today Don Hatfield's original oil paintings and serigraphs can be found in many collections all over the world.

Don Hatfield was born on May 16, 1947 in Long Beach, Calif. and is one of the most innovative impressionists of our time. His style of painting softly blends figures of realism with the gentle touch of classic Impressionism. Hatfield's paintings bond themselves to the viewer. In the vein of romantic impressionism, he shows the viewer that beauty can arise from one impulsive moment; a family reunion, a child searching for shells on the beach, or the warmth of the sun touching a mother and her child.

In his development as an artist, Don Hatfield had the added influence of his background as a contract painter for a publishing company into his own artistic interpretation. He applies intoxicating light to provide another dimension to the beach attraction in his works showcasing family enjoyment of simple time at the beach. His works document that fleeting essence of the tender, the humorous, and the enchantment of a special moment in time.
